If there is too much water in potatoes, drain off some. Add potato to milk and stir in flour, one Tbsp. at a time. Break eggs into mixture and blend thoroughly. Add salt. Heat enough oil in skillet or on griddle to cover surface generously. When moderately hot, pour about 1/4 cup potato batter into skillet and spread evenly about 1/4 inch thick. Cook until lightly browned and crisp. Turn and brown other side. Reduce heat and cook remaining batter, adding oil to skillet as necessary.
